There’s not a drop of irony here. It’s just mindboggling that HN prop these charlatans up like gods. You’re not temporarily embarrassed millionaires - you’re just embarrassing.

I think this will be overrun by self help finance gurus, in short order. By the looks of it is has already started.

Yeah, I don’t know. I’ve been a part of companies where CEOs used this guy’s anecdotal bullshit to push/justify their own agendas. Some even met him and boasted about it like it’s a badge of honor. Not interested and hard pass.

This is why I don’t get the recent pg hate that’s been happening on HN. He’s always done this, but now people are saying he’s out of touch because he’s rich/white/old. Majority of things he’s blogged are no-nonsense observations.

Comments like these should result in at the very least a suspension, if not an outright ban. You’re calling for someone’s death quite liberally. Take a break from HN for your own sake.

Sigh, why does HN keep picking these editorialized articles up? I honestly expect the community to flag this as clickbait. We have new evidence that invalidates our previous hypotheses, so we adjust course and keep going. “We all” didn’t be

Correct. We do not all share this planet. You’re lucky the plutocrats haven’t put you against the wall and shot you but they simply don’t think you’re worth the effort to dispose of. The moment that effort is decreased enough such that your

Hear hear. To add, I started treating most information outlets, including HN, as endless faucets of propaganda, misinformation AND misdirection. The outrage is, at best, a farcical play of human dramas unfolding on a stage. To take any of t

One would think he would also avoid the great majority of books out there too, as they’re just as trashy and toxic as news are.

Honestly? Flag and move on. It’s really not worth getting controversial over something like this. It’s clearly a cultural/power flex bereft of any technical curiosity and it serves the HN crowd absolutely no use nor leads to any enligh

It’s a very strange emotional appeal. Yes, you can ban first-hand imports of Russian culture, or any other nation. But what about all the ways in which your culture has already been affected by decades and decades of integrating these works

The big three here in Canada grouped up against Verizon. It’s a cartel and they pay everyone off to look the other way.

I suspect a lot of people are ok and happy in fact with things being “broken” in their favour.

HN isn’t the website for this kind of rhetoric.

In my social circle it was women that were the most vocal on both sides of the issue. The men were mostly quiet and going along with whatever the wife or whoever wanted.

> Biology is way more complicated and we know less about the mechanics of our own bodies than the computers we designed. We don’t know much about that either, to be fair.

Probably because the only thing that can physically stop a man is another man, and when men get so unhinged as to support ruthless leaders to get what they want, all bets are off and you’re dealing with a carnage waiting to happen.

Given the misinformation that western media fell for, it certainly is cringe and bluepilled. It’s like people believe the narrative they want to see and ignore reality.

RE: “overkill” - I agree, but this blog post/article prompted me to suggest this as a one step solution to eliminate multiple steps with multiple products as an alternative to what another commenter called “OCD.” A bottle of methanol,

Any reason you can’t use pure methanol to clean glasses? I don’t wear glasses so I don’t know the specifics, but that’s what we use to clean industrial laser lenses and any tiny speck or smudge or oil would immediately burn the protective c

This is why I’m wary whenever I see “top X% in the income bracket.” I think it’s misdirection, because if you can’t afford something, then you can’t afford it, regardless of how well off the statistics say you are. You can save for a down p

No, but there are websites for that, since that is a real market, shocking and funny though it may be.
